A few smacks with a 3lb. hammer got mine out. It's tapered in there not threaded.

Had to heat mine w/ a cutting torch and dump cold water on it to get mine to pop out (mine's a '95). Guess the idiot on the assy line liked hammering on the nut on that tapered bolt with the impact wrench.
I spend the better part of a day prying, hammering, etc. I even cut the bolt off the front side, even w/ the hex, then used an impact. All that did was round off the hex.

If you ever have to heat one up to get it out, wedge a peice of sheet steel above that area to protect the wiring harnes or anything else that might sustain damage.
